Before the subject Of railway dangers has
passed out of mind there is one lesson to be
learned which does not need another colli-
sion to enforce it, but which If needed might
10 far TO prevent loss OF life in such acci-
dents as those just past. The fact most
clearly shown Is the tremendous weight and
strength of the parlor and gleeping cars.
Iu both the late collisions the sleeper re-
mained on the track and no person in them
was injured. But the ordinary car between
the sleeper and the engine was crushed as il
IL had been peanut shell, and scarcely a
passenger escaped. This shows that all
cars should be built as heavy and strong as
these higl-grade coaches, but it also shows
that the present way OF making up trains,
with light old-fashioned car in the most
dangerous place next tue engine, and q
number Of these modern Juggernauts behind
II, increases the dangers from collision
very materially. The weight and solidity o
these sleepers, with their superior platforms
make them able TO withstand very
great shock, and they bear against the
Trailer car in front with irresistible force
crushing il TO pieces in a moment. II
Is evident that the strongest cars
should be in front. The collisions in which
passengers are injured rarely occur FROM the
rear. The most dangerous place in the
train, as they are now made up, is given TO
cheaply constructed car, and It's position is
rendered ten tunes more psrilous by placing
behind II cars weighing hundreds Of tons

The comments of the Star upon the sen.
satiounl petition to Congress about the i'm
morality of Washington are timely and just.
This is not one Of the most wicked but one
of the most orderly and law abiding of com.
munities. Were it not so, with our insig-
nifcant police force, we should be in the
midst of a carnival OF crime and violence
This journal will go as far as the next in
advocating the repression of crime, hut
wholesale defamation of respectable COM
muuity is not a legitimate means Of arous-
ing public attention 1, reforms which may
he desirable. Neither is IL moral in itself,
nor in the interest OF m orality, TO recklsssly
circulate falsehoods and slapderous state
ments like those which begin this petition.
Such are the assertions that the Commission
srs disregard the purity and safety of the
people" and sin violation of law" "pru-
'teot gambling halls, pool-rooms, dens of
Prostitution" etc. Amendments of the
law may be needed. Indeed such amend
ments have been steadily advocated by us,
aud by all good citizens, aud repeatedly
asked for by the Commissioners. These
officers may make mistakes in transactipg
the mass of important business pressing
upon their attention, but it is preposterous
to charge that they are not as good and
much wiser citizens and doing vastly more
for the cause oflaw and public morality than
the insane fanatics who could formally
place upon record paper so full of false
aud reckless statements as this.

The Republican majority in the Senate
has developed something like mania for
costly monuments at Government expense to
the idols Of the party. 1t might he ungen-
erous to assert that all this is prompted by
no higher motive than desire to embarrass
the Democratic majority in the House. Yet
it is difficult to imagine any other reason for
the proposition TO erect a conspicuous monu-
ment to Edwin NJ. Stanton, for example, a
man whom two Republican historians,
Grant and Blaine, have written down as
wholly unworthy OF any such honor. The
latest project brought forth by Senator Hoar
il one for hundred dollar monu-
ment in memory of the negro soldiers and
sailors who fell in the late war. 1t is diff.
cult to imagine anything more unfit and
tasteless than this. II it we're carried,
the next appropriation in order would be for
monument at Government expense to the
Celtic soldiers and sailors, another to those
of Germsnic race, another to those of French
nativity, and go on indefinitely. All these
heroes fought and fell, not as Celts, Teutons,
FRANKS, UT utSfocS, put ds AuieIicau Cill-
zens loyal to the Union and the Constitution,
and under one flag. 1t is not for their COM
mon Government TO recognize difference
among her children. "Tros Tyiusqus mihi
nulio d,scrimiae agetur,' should certainly be
her motto. The Services of the negro race to
this Republic, from the days of Crispus
Attucks, "frst martyr Of liberty" until
now, are recorded in the pages OF history.
That the country has not been ungrateful
stands equally indelible in the Emancipa-
tion Proclamation and the torrents OF blood
and treasure spent to make it an actuality.
Ifthe negroes themselves raise a monument
TO the valor of those of their race who fought
for their own freedom, just az almost every
hamlet in the North has monument to the
soldiers of that town, they will meet with
hearty approval and encouragement; but
they will themselves be the first to recognize
how out of place 1t is TO call upon the Fed
eral Government TO do this for them

Not quite enough attention has been paid
to the Traction Railway bill which the
House will consider next Thursday. If the
people of this city could see just what it is
proposed to do there is no doubt that over
whelming opposition would be aroused
against this scheme. Certainly no consider-
able number of our citizens, for example,
are willing to see Twelfth street northwest
from to the Boundary defaced by street
railroad, or Eighteenth street, or Sixth
street, or NJ street. The spectators who are
seeking this franchise propose to gridiron
the whole city and parallel every existing
street railway. No public need exists for
the new roads proposed. They would
simply destroy the chief beauty of our city,
which consists in its long stretches of clean
asphalt roadway. The Avenue line is now
asking for the privilege to use the cable sys-
ten, and if 1t can get the necessary authority
that company will doubtless adopt the best
methods which have yet been devised.
They have hoped that the electric system
would be perfected, or that some other motor
preferable TO the cable would be found
But they are willing to adopt the best and
to provide ample facilities for transporting
passengers. An improv ement which il
greatly desired is that which will do ava,
with the transfer at Fourteenth street ant
New York avenue, aud this the company
proposes to do by running cars through
from the Boundary 10 East Washington
But whatever the present corporations may
do or may fail to do, no more of our street,
ought to be given up to tramways, and nc
more charters ought to he granted TO specu

The present mania for newspaper notorleiy, which
prevails here as well as in England, will, think, be
followed by reaction. The constant ringing ofthe
changes upon the names Of the few hundreds who
form society proper is becoming 1stasteful to re-
fined people. OF course there is large class of
the ambitious who cling to the idioic idea that noto
rety is distinction, and that constant advertisement
Is the road to social position and fashionable excu
siveuess. "Familiarily breeds contempt" The
general public are beginning to weary of the persis-
